Thanks to Danwei, I came across this map, titled “A dozen ways to die in Shanghai,” featuring the city’s most prominent suicide spots:

They provide the following english translation:

Huichunji pharmacy sells sleeping pills.
Suzhou rivier is uncovered.
The #57 bus goes directly to the zoo. You can jump into a tiger’s mouth and die.
The Kerry Center is 32 stories tall. Jumping off is 100% successful.
A manhole cover has been stolen – jump into the sewer and drown.
Cars under the Yan’an Road viaduct drive very fast. Accidents happen often.
Changshou Road subway station – lie on the tracks.
Fuxing Park – hanging yourself is simple among the tall, close trees.
Barber stand at 1324 alley – steal a razor and cut your throat.
High-voltage power lines – with 20,000 volts, electrocution is convenient.
Wang’s Tofu Stand – crush yourself with a piece of tofu.
Dafa Gardens construction site – there’s always something falling.
Filling station – death by self-immolation.
Free and Easy Sauna – death by suffocation.
